Wellington Animal Rights Network

Animal rights group disgusted but not surprised over corporate spying.
A Wellington Animal Rights group spied on by Thompson & Clark Investigations says it is disgusted but not surprised by the spying.

Wellington Animal Rights Network Spokesperson Mark Eden says they always expected to be targeted by industries afraid of exposure and criticism.

“The animal abuse industries have a vested interest in trying to undermine and sabotage the activities of those groups who are committed to exposing animal cruelty,

The companies profiting from vivisection and factory farming are afraid of debate and afraid of public opinion. That’s why they operate in secret and that’s why they hire private investigators to infiltrate our groups, read our emails and follow us around”.

“Public opinion is turning against factory farming and animal research and no amount of spying and dirty tricks can stop the fight against animal cruelty”.

"It is a disgrace that Thompson & Clark have resorted to such underhanded and potentially illegal tactics. We demand to know who exactly was paying for information on our groups activities.” said Mr Eden.
